Today I’d like to tell you about an Android application I have been using every day since March 16, 2011. That’s over 300 days of use, day in, day out. It’s a free application called Libra, and it’s used for entering your weight every morning and then getting a picture of where you are going.

The fact is, losing weight is never going to be easy. No matter what method you try to use there is a simple formula: eat less, burn more.

If you have a desk job like I do, and are as fond of food as I am, you really must be having tough time dealing with all the (unwanted) calories. I know I do. Working as a code churner by day and a writer by night hardly leaves me with any time to exercise [...]

As I’m watching television, eating chips and writing, I notice that the new season of The Biggest Loser has just started. I empathize with the contestants.

It is easy to gain weight, but to lose weight is another story. It is kind of like a credit card, really easy to charge up the bill but when the time comes to pay it off — well, it’s not quite so easy. For example, those fast food burgers after midnight slide right down [...]

One of the more difficult aspects of being a writer is sitting on your backside for so many hours in a row, and being far too busy to search for ways to lose weight for free. Poor writers like us can’t afford Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers! The best way to lose abdominal weight, or [...]
